Woah there daddy, daddy
Now you ripped my fur
Woah baby, baby be sweatin' out my hur
Took 45 minutes to get all dressed up
And we ain't even gone make it to this club
Everyone should read the "Ghost" entry on RapGenius. It's annotated by the song's writer-producer, Boots!
Quote:
This verse is a stream of consciousness that I wrote one night at 5am.
I had met with a record label earlier in the afternoon and they had heard some of the songs I was working on for the Beyonce album and said “That’s so interesting Beyonce is doing weird records like this…. Once that comes out we can put stuff out like that too!”
I was so appalled with the fact that record labels don’t view music as art anymore. They view it as product. So I wrote this late one sleepless night and it turned into an entire stream of consciousness about whatever came to mind, the state of myself, the state of pop music, the overall state of the world and most of all, people blindly going about their daily life as worker drones but ultimately not doing anything to be happy. I showed it to Bey a few days later and she was over the moon about it, and got real fired up. She said it was something she had been wanting to express for so long… We worked together to perfect it for her and this is the final product. I love this ****ing song.
